Rhino: 3D Goblet or Vase

Today we are building a 3D shape such as a goblet or vase by drawing the profile of the shape, then using the "Revolve" command to make it a 360˚ object.

  1. Use the "Curve" tool (either "control point curve" or "sketch") to draw the shape in the "Front" or "Right" viewport -- use the red "base line" as a "floor". 
  2. Press ESC to get out of the "curve" menu.
  3. Click on your new line.
  4. Type "Revolve" in the "Command:" line.
  5. Draw the "Axis" (use Shift to keep the line straight) and press Enter.
  6. Type "360" at the "Revolution Angle" prompt and press Enter.
  7. Press "Delete" to remove the original curve that you drew.
  8. Shade the Perspective viewport and view your object from different angles.
